Make an offer: Mint necklace

I designed a necklace sometime back and its made of mint green aventurine beads. Its been in my inventory list for quite a while with no takers. So I am planning to redesign a necklace with the beads. But before I do that, I am wondering if anybody would like it the way it is now. You can see more pictures of this MINT GREEN AVENTURINE necklace HERE.

This necklace is 19.5 inches long and comes with matching earrings.

The green aventurine beads are 10mm beads. This necklace has a mix of turquoise and black agate stones and resin on silver with pewter beads.

Please MAKE AN OFFER and if I think I can sell it to you at that price, ITS YOURS!

***In addition to your offer, please add $8 for shipping charges.

Bag it Pride and Prejudice

The other day,my daughter M asked me which was my favorite book? I quickly said, "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen. And of course, she being only 6 years old, asked me back, what Prejudice meant. Well, I am not going to go on about where the conversation went on to...

Anyway, this is one novel I really really like and I get pretty excited if I get to see anything related to it.

I found this very creative designer, Michelle of Chicklitdesigns who makes designer book purses, clutches, Ipad covers and Kindle Ereader covers fom vintage books.

My eyes fell on the book purse made from - you guessed it - Pride and Prejudice book cover!

Very unique indeed! Well co-ordinated fabrics to compliment the book cover, the designer says that you can keep a Kindle Ereader in  it and they come with a compact mirror. These bags are all made to order.
